Hondaline Brackets
Written by mikeyb_houtex on 7/30/2010 at 01:55 am

So the sleeved bolt setup is strong like bull. Notwithstanding the stuff that's
being hung on it (brackets, rack, etc.) It was more the sleeves and bolts that
I was concerned about.

That's good stuff to hear. Calms my fears. Thanks so much, Fred!

Now... that backrest... it's a start, anyway... Hm...

a few pounds of stuff, then running over several rough patches be overwhelming
and cause something to fail, or is it really just fine?
